my vision (pun intended) is to have a Smallville type show focusing on Matt's college and law school years. Various mob figures can be villains. Kingpin can be an up and coming hoodlum.

Did you know that the Smallville idea came from a Daredevil TV series that never happened ? In the 90's, Frank Miller tried your idea. It never happened (Don't know why), so Miller used his script from a mini series with John Romita Junior as penciler. It was the last work of Frank Miller on the title : "The Man Without Fear"
